Funny how they all have different vibes.

Stalin looks like a bully. Hitler looks like he's been bullied and is going to be a school shooter.

Many of the others look like pompous twats and/or spoilt rich kids.

Churchill was a pompous, rich, spoiled kid. But he did a good job as the war needed.

Hirohito was a prince and Roosevelt was old money. Idk about Eisenhower but American generals historically come from well to do backgrounds.

After a cursory glance it seems like Eisenhower's family would've been firmly middle class, not great but not bad either. So pretty standard merchants.
